Re: [Netconf] should onboarding information *set* the debug level?

In thinking about how to enable an operator (via a bootstrap server) to
indicate that it would like "verbose" progress reports, I came up with
the following.

  rpc get-bootstrapping-data {
    input {
      ...
    }
    output {
      leaf reporting-level {
        default standard;
        type enumeration {
          enum standard {
            description
              "Send just the progress reports required by RFC XXXX.";
          }
          enum verbose {
            description
              "Send additional progress reports that might help
               troubleshooting an SZTP bootstrapping issue.";
          }
        }
        description
          "Specifies the reporting level for progress reports the
           bootstrap server would like to receive when processing
           onboarding information.  Progress reports are not sent
           when processing redirect information.";
      }
      leaf zerotouch-information {...}
      leaf owner-certificate {...}
      leaf ownership-voucher {...}
  }


Note that it's a value, being an RPC output leaf, is outside of the 
standard zerotouch information artifact, which is perfect for this.

My only question is, when wouldn't a bootstrap server set it to
"verbose"?  ;)

Do people like or dislike this direction?
